Why I'm not a writer

I started writing rather late, at the age of sixteen. That's about twenty years ago. That's when I wrote my first film script. It was a dumb about couple of dummies who sell their souls and then try to get them back. It never got shot, thank God!

But it left me hungry for something bigger: The lust for storytelling. At first I thought it was passion for filmmaking, so I came up with a movie called The Knight-Guardian.

But it wasn’t filmmaking per se. Filmmaking is just a good way to tell a story. And that was the key: storytelling.

It's been In my veins as long as I know, probably since my first breath. I don't care if it's movie, novel of videogame. Good story is where you find it. The best story is whatever works best In its own media.

The only limit is where you want to focus on. To me it's writing. Hope you know yours.

Thanks and bye!
